Enginyeria Civil: guies per a una docència universitària amb perspectiva de gènere

, 2023
L‘origen de l’enginyeria civil el trobem en l’enginyeria militar, a la qual va estar lligada la construcció durant molts anys per temes de defensa i estratègia. Aquest fet ha condicionat des del principi una disciplina clarament masculinitzada. La Guia per a una docència universitària amb perspectiva de gènere d’Enginyeria Civil ofereix propostes ...

Stabilized Mixed Formulations for Incompressible Finite Strain Electromechanics Including Stress Accurate Analysis

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Volume 126, Issue 22, 30 November 2025.
ABSTRACT In this study, we introduce a novel methodology for finite strain electromechanics that effectively addresses the incompressible limit. The primary innovation of this work is the first‐time application of robust and accurate stabilized mixed formulations, previously developed by the authors for hyperelasticity, within the realm of ...

Categorical surrogation of agent‐based models: A comparative study of machine learning classifiers

Expert Systems, Volume 42, Issue 1, January 2025.
Abstract Agent‐based modelling has gained recognition in the last years because it provides a natural way to explore the behaviour of social systems. However, agent‐based models usually have a considerable number of parameters that make it computationally prohibitive to explore the complete space of parameter combinations.
